Why the top of my fingers get sleep only on my right hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carpal Tunnel?: I assume that you mean the tips of your fingers go to sleep. The median nerve controls the feeling to the thumb, index, middle, and half of ring finger. Pressure on this nerve at the wrist can cause numbness and tingling in these fingers, especially at night or upon awakening in the morning. This can occur whle driving as well. Try a wrist splint and see if this helps, if not get it checked.
